Summary:
The 54414 zip code is home to a single school, Birnamwood Elementary, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 361 students. Birnamwood Elementary is part of the Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District, which is ranked 317 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Birnamwood Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, consistently outperforming the district and state averages on the Forward Exam, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's performance has improved over the past two years, suggesting effective teaching and learning strategies. However, the school faces some challenges, including a slightly higher-than-ideal chronic absenteeism rate of 8.6% and a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 44.04% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the district's overall low ranking and 1-star rating, Birnamwood Elementary's academic performance stands out as a bright spot. The school's per-student spending is in line with the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is within the recommended range for elementary schools. Addressing attendance issues and continuing to improve academic outcomes should be the school's priorities moving forward.
